Electrical System
Maintenance
•
Disconnect the battery before repairing the
machine. Disconnect the negative terminal first
and the positive last. Connect the positive terminal
first and the negative last.
•
Charge the battery in an open, well-ventilated
area, away from sparks and flames. Unplug the
charger before connecting or disconnecting the
battery.
•
Wear protective clothing and use insulated tools.
Checking the Fuses
Refer to the Operator's Manual supplied with the cab
for instructions on fuses.
If the machine has any electrical system issues, check
the fuses. Grasp each fuse and remove them one at
a time, checking to see if any are blown. If you need
to replace a fuse, always use the same type and
amperage rated fuse as the one you are replacing,
otherwise you could damage the electrical system.
Note:
If a fuse blows frequently, you probably have
a short in the electrical system and should have it
serviced by a qualified service technician.
